Tires
01/11/2017

Tires valley is a pearl in the heart of Dolomites. San Cipriano is the church of its last village and stand in a perfect position, looking towards Catinaccio-Rosengarten and Vajolet towers. I decided to try a "car trail" shot to revisit this iconic postcard view with my personal idea.

The Pulsing Heart
08/03/2017

Polar nights fascinated me since the first time I experienced Scandinavian lands. During my last travel in Lappi i also was so lucky to watch for this pulsing aurora heart over my head. Only a couple of seconds that will lasts for all the rest of my life.

Green Smoke
19/02/2017

Aurora is not just something green appearing in the night. Aurora borealis is something more, something unique. So, i think its important to capture this phenomena with a unique composition. In this case my idea was to capture northern lights giving an idea of a green smoke coming out from the cabin.. is it?

Monumental
15/02/2017

It has been one of the most impressive aurora night I took part in my life. A KP7 spectacle in the sky that lasts almost 3 hours. Standing here with minus 25 degrees in Lappi has been an incredible emotion. Small trees looks like to be monumental on this 3D-landscape.

Stetind
14/06/2016

It was a long time I desired to admire this incredible mountain of Nordland in Norway. I know, there is only one Matterhorn in the world, and Matterhorn has been used to give its name to a lot of mountains all over the world. But Stetind is different, unique, I hope none will never accost Stetind to "Cervino".
After 46 hours of drive, pictures, snow, water, ferries, without sleeping, i was there and i will remember that night forever, also without a green sky !

150th Zermatt Matterhorn
04/11/2014

I was in Zermatt last month, preparing a magazine issue on the celebration of the Matterhorn 150th year jubilee. The town is focussed to celebrate the first ascent of Whymper expedition in the summer of 1865. Each summer a large number of mountaineers try to climb the Matterhorn via the northeast Hörnli ridge, the most popular route to the summit, facing directly to the most famous mountain village of the Valais and the entire Swiss.

Love Outdoor
24/08/2014

When I spent my night outside I normally try to take some unique photo to add to my portfolio. This shot come from a night in the Oberland Bernese Alps during a beautiful and cold starry night. It was not so simple to manage the lighting of the scene in an artificial way, especially because for light in the tent, and for filling on the subject, we need few seconds compared to 30 seconds that we have to dedicate to the Milky Way.
My friend was standing still for all the exposure, and I dedicated myself to the illumination of the scenery, running in front of him and pointing a correct light avoiding wrong direction or strength of the beam. After some attempts we finally reached our goal!

Alone in the Dark

I usually include people in my photos cause I want my shots to be as alive as possible. In this case I was photographing during a very dark night on a remote lake in the Haute Savoie french Alps (Reserve Naturelle des Aiguilles Rouges).
Its impossible to explain the emotions you feel in situation like this, so I included a friend in the picture, its useful to help me in my intent to convey what I would like to transmit with this image.

Facing Matterhorn
02/08/2014

One of the best moment I love for shooting is twilight. Sometimes, with full moon, we can experience some unique condition just an hour before sunrise. The first light hit the highest peaks just when the last stars plays in the sky. If you are photographing from 3000 meters or above we can also be spectators of breathtaking arrays of colors in the sky!

This is a shot from last winter, I was acclimatating to cold situations to be ready in time for my future trip to northern Europe and for the freezing temperatures of the arctic night (shooting all night to auroras).
In reality I never found in Norway all the feared cold... indeed of this night in my neighbor "Valmalenco" I especially remember the fact that I have regained my fingers after only 3 months. An Adventure NOT to repeat!

Dolomites Revelation
27/07/2013

Changes in the weather are the most spectacular moments for a landscape photographer. Too often, however, we do not believe in interesting explosion of the weather and we desist to adventure at high altitudes risking the wind, cold or even lightning.
In this case, however, the silky veil of clouds, a sign of a change in weather, positive or negative, leaves me open-mouthed in front of a postcard in Dolomites composed of Cadini of Misurina and Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen).

Ursa Major (Grande Carro)
20/06/2013

Among the groups of most visible and recognizable stars in the northern sky we can include the constellation of Ursa Major. The seven brightest stars in it form the asterism known in my nation as the "Grande Carro" (italian language). But the name changes and takes a lot of variations all over the world: for example is known as the Big Dipper in the United States and Canada, or as the Plough in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Three Leaps of Gazelle in the Arab culture... and so on. But whatever its the name there is always one thing that unites all cultures and resides in the mysteries of the Deep-sky objects, something that still fascinates us to face up when we admire the night sky.
In this photo I've adjusted the "star's effect" with the software Star Spikes Pro.

The Dance of the Spirits
11/03/2013

I love landscape photography and I realize my favorite shots during the night.
So this time I decided to go to Norway, it's my dream. My fantasies are located in the Lyngen alps, near Tromso, where the auroral zone band passes through (70°N latitude).
The cold is perfect (almost -15°) and the charged particles coming from the solar wind are ready to reach the Earth, where, when meeting the atmosphere, it's possible to admire the dance of the sky: some greenish glow or sometimes a faint red that may change within seconds or glow unchanging for hours. The Dance of the Spirits starts!

Every year thousands of people come to Funes Valley and remain enraptured face of these cathedrals of rock.

Milky Way on Mont Blanc

This shot was taken in the summer of 2012 during a trekking in the French Alps. This enchanting lake reflection of the Mont Blanc group is possible from one of the Lac des Chéserys, situated in the Haute Savoie Alps near Chamonix. I spent the night there with my tent... it was a great night!
Some photography tips:
- choose a night without moon, best for milky way
- use the correct exposition to avoid that the stars are moved, 15 seconds could be a good choice

This is the result of a long exposure taked during a summer night from Lago Superiore, at the foot of Monviso. This peak is one of the most slended through the Alps, often visible and easily recognizable even from Milan.
The good result of this kind of shots is on finding the right mix of weather and moon phase, but this is just as important as the perfect harmony beetwen the right camera settings. You can't make a mistake on setting the right Aperture, Shutter Speed or ISO Film. Go and try tonight!

King of Stone & Stars
21/01/2013

Night photography needs a proper study of the location and very important is the period of the month, depending on which photo we would like to shot.
Fundamental importance is done by presence or absence of the moon. Take care also of humidity and wind, they can be enemies against the equipment as much as cold temperatures.
In this shot I was in a lake (Superior Lake) at the foot of one of the most beautiful and slended mountains in the Alps: Monviso, the "King of Stone".

Monviso Fluctuation
22/09/2012

Night photography fascinates and impresses with its ability to reproduce peculiar and unknown situations to most visitors of the mountains. Photographers who want to capture the essence of the night should be able to mix the different components that can best enhance its charm and mystery at the same time: location, framing, absence of moisture, absence of the moon if the intent is to capture the Milky Way, proper use of the equipment available... and so on! After endless night images I wanted to try a different shot from the usual Milky Way that dives into the sky. I hope you'll like it.

Blue Rosset

The goal of producing an interesting shot in each of the major mountain ranges of the Alps continues with the Gran Paradiso. From extensive research we find that it is well framed by the area of the Colle Nivolet in Piedmont. We plan to venture there at the first good opportunity and this happens when different conditions overlap in mid-September 2012: complete absence of the moon, a fresh snowfall at high altitudes and a strong and cold wind coming from north. We have to brave the cold, which will be intense, but passion for the mountains goes far beyond any doubts and then we venture to this beautiful area dotted with lakes... a good luck will do the rest!

Moncenisio Dream
13/09/2012

During the last years I approached astrophotography incorporated into the landscape. So I often travel through the Alps in search of nocturnal views that highlight the Milky Way. The best time of the month is when the moon is not present in the sky but in rare cases it is possible the opposite and this allows wonderful illumination of the panorama with a sky that enhances the spiral of our galaxy. I always like crispy and windy evenings like the one in this shot with my "Clickalps" friends at the French Moncenisio pass. Get ready for the cold!
